The outdoors can truly help the body to relax and wind down plus it is great when you have the inclination to throw around water balloons. So plan for your Memorial Day Party to be outside; try to have it when it is not so hot like sometime around 5 pm and also at night when you might be able to do fireworks. Plus, the cleaning should be a lot easier than if it were inside and it is great to let the kids roam around free. Or you can combine both inside and outside.

Setup a Theme

It seems redundant, but think beyond just the patriotic theme for your Memorial Day party. Instead, have the theme be a Hawaiian Lu out or an “Around the World” Memorial Day party theme. You can still have the patriotic side but spruce it up with a few twists that might make your party stand out more. The possibilities are endless.

Have a Great Menu

You can have it to be picnic style, with baskets filled with sandwiches, chips and drinks or make a barbeque styled party or you can even have the food line up with the theme of the party. Whichever you choose just make sure there is plenty to go around for seconds or more depending on who comes.
